Hera, the queen has arrived | SEASON 8 GUIDE 👑

👑
Hi guys!
This is my first guide. I really hope that you enjoy it.
I'll try my best to explain how I like to play with Argus, and Hera





Introduction ~ Core Items ~ Items ~ Skill Combos & Tips ~ Pros/Cons

Items Core




I don't have an incredible explanation about it, I just like these items in Hera. I think that the cooldown reduction is the most important thing. The Spear of Desolation have a great passive, Chronos' Pendant have a nice cooldown reduction, and Soul Gem finish it with a cooldown, lifesteal, and power. :)

About Items


Starter



Hera needs cooldown reduction and power to helping the clear wave and eventually hit the enemy. That's why Conduit Gem + Lost Artifact was my chosen.



2nd and 3rd items



The second item is the Chronos' Pendant. The third is Shoes of Focus. I really prefer Shoes of Focus, but you can also use Shoes of the Magi.
ps: about the purchase, I buy what I can buy when I need to return to base. I don't have an order to finish the items.



4th item



I really need lifesteal to play. I prefer to buy the Soul Gem, but you can also buy the Bancroft's Talon. It will work too. :D



5th and 6th items



Although I find the Spear of Desolation a Core item for Hera, when uniting the 5th item I think about what I need faster. If I am having problems because the enemy steals a lot of life or if I just need more power and penetration. In the first case, I buy the Divine Ruin. In the second, it Spear of Desolation.




Finishing the build



At level 20, you'll finish your starter item. I prefer Archmage's Gem.
Then you will buy the consumable that will replace your boots is the Elixir of Speed.
After all this, you will choose your last item. I usually buy Soul Reaver, but you can do other items that I’ll quote below.



Optional Items



The Staff of Myrddin Will give you plenty of magic power and this passive will allow you to use 2 twice in a row. It is a good item to aggressive.
The Gem of Isolation It will slow your enemies down, it's good against gods that have some kind of dash or are too fast.
I really like the Doom Orb because it gives movement and a lot of power. It works great on Hera
Rod of Tahuti It´s a good item if you like to do a lot of penetration and power, this item is great to finish with a flourish.



Just one more a little thing...



Theoretically, Divine Ruin and Soul Reaver are optional items as well. But hardly, in the conquest, we will not go against some god who has a lot of lifesteal or warriors/wizards/guardians with a lot of life. So, although optional, these items are present in 90% of my builds.

Skill Combos & Tips


To attack the Minions


In the early game, you will need use both skills. In mid/late, you just need to use the Royal Assault

>


To attack the Gods


The basically combo is, attack with the skill that silences 2 and, then you will be hitting with the 1 .
Transformed enemies take more damage.

>



To attack the Gods 02


Silence 2 , Ultimate 4 , Hit with the 1 . If it is not enough, activate the shield 3 (this will buff Argus and you will be faster, thus being able to hunt enemies that are fleeing) and finish with the combo of silence 2 + skill 1 again.
